insulting, and jeering that is commonly used in sports in order to demoralize a/the
opposing team. The term ‘trashtalk’ came to prominence when it was used by
Muhammad Ali during his prime in the ‘60s and ‘70s, most especially after he released a
full-length album comprised purely of poems full of trashtalk in nature that coined his
hyperboles, shallow insults and language, but in recent years has also involved sexist
‘mom and sister jokes’ (e.g. “You’re so bad at this!” “Yeah, but at least I f***ed your
Trashtalking has become a relatively normal practice in North American sports and
culture, especially in football, basketball, and other related sports. As of the 2010s,
however, as MOBA games (e.g. Mobile Legends, League of Legends, Defense of the
Ancient) begin to take hold in the Philippines, trashtalking has become a significant part
of our ‘gaming culture’ as well, especially amongst young teenagers ranging from the
ages of 16-18: the most active age group in terms of playing such games.

The researchers then aim to a) find the most common demographic among
MOBA gamers (age, gender, etc.), the effects that trashtalking may inflict on young
teenagers who play MOBA games (both on the giving and receiving end) such as (b the
behavior they tend to exhibit, c) the likelihood of the victims developing mental problems
in the long run, and also d) find which MOBA games have the most toxic gaming

2. What are the primary and secondary strategies to manage their temp?
Despite it being taken astride by some individuals, however, trashtalking may, in some
scenarios, deeply affect certain individuals: both in the cases of the trashtalkers and the
individuals who are their victims. In the former case, the trashtalkers may slowly
implement this insulting mannerism into their daily lives: as they believe that nothing is
wrong with what they are doing, they tend to carry over this habit into real life, therefore
coming across as a toxic and unlikeable person in the long run. Those who are trashtalked
may develop a sort of protective and fearful personality that is common among victims of
cyberbullying: they become shy, withdrawn, and sensitive, and in most cases, self-
doubtful and depreciative. In worst-case scenarios, some victims of both short-term and
long-term trashtalking may end up with serious mental problems like anxiety and
depression, and may commit suicide down the road in the prolonged absence of help.
This study focuses on the management and coping strategies of teenagers who’s
